MUST READ!!! TKC READER PUSH BACK CALLS OUT DEAD TREE MEDIA IGNORANCE OF KANSAS CITY POLICE DEPT. TRAINING!!!



TKC NOTE: I couldn't have written anything better than this editorial response that calls out Dead Tree Media ignorance about police work. Check it:

TKC READER: Another Misinformed Kansas City Star Editorial

TKC: The Star really needs to provide an apology to every police officer in Kansas City.

These nitwits who fancy themselves experts on law enforcement training have decided, without the slightest bit of research to back it up, that law enforcement training does not include instructions on "when not to shoot."

Really?

The Star came up with this concept all by itself? "Gee, police training dudes, don't you think it would be a good idea to teach a continuum of force (voice to tazer to weapon, for example) to your trainees, and drill them on who not to shoot.

Oh, you already do that? Repeatedly? As a central part of our curriculum? Wow. So sorry for the trouble." That's the sum total conversation that would have been necessary to prevent this idiotic editorial.

You would have to live in a cave not to have seen at least one movie scene on the police training range where bad guys in silhouette pop up and grandmas pop up in silhouette and the shooter has to decide who is the threat. This training method is not only on a Hollywood set, it is one of many techniques used by the police to train their personnel not to shoot the wrong person. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES.

The reactionary left wing tilt at the Star is offensive enough without insulting the Blue Line and its own readership with tripe.

  2. KC Star don't know squat about a lot of things. Like Glazer always opening their pie holes just to fucking be saying something. Facts, who needs fucking facts, when in your own mind you're a legend,

  3. Did Mizztress Toni Boneless acquire the KC Star recently? Better send secret agent Bolonzo in undercover.

  6. The Star is a joke. Remember we used to have 2 papers in this town, morning and evening. It wasn't just easy access to news (cable, internet, etc) that killed that other paper, it was the numbers of people no longer subscribing to this trash.

    I've noticed that the only paper with any real reporting is the Sunday, and we get (every now and then), one or two front page articles that seem to have involved actual investigations. The rest of the time, the articles are the stuff of a bad HS journalism class, and the editorials are laughable.

    I'm convinced the reporters do no fact checking at all, and have all realized they can print any old thing they want because readership is so low, no one will know the difference.

  7. The "Blue Line" is part of the problem. You spend all of your time and energy protecting every officer every time. No such thing as a lousy cop?
    Your just like the AMA covering for bad doctors. FOP does the same. You guys can bury your mistakes just like a doctor.

  8. The KC Star doesn't know squat about running a newspaper. Perhaps they should take some time off and clean their own house|?
